Happy April Fool’s Day everyone! No, I haven’t done anything outrageous to con you all as I did last year, here. And I am returning to Manila after a very brief trip on personal business, so it’s not likely that there will will be tales to tell about The Teen nailing Marketmen with an April Fool’s prank unless she has an elaborate one lined up for me on the plane… :) But I did want all of you to know that S&R is having a humongous sale from April 1-5 and management has assured me that there are a lot of goodies marked down. Bummer. I can’t make it to the store until tomorrow, I hope there’s still some stuff left over! And unlike the last time they had this sale last September or so, it will run five days instead of three, to reduce the chances of sheer shopping pandemonium and lines up the wazoo. They have added check out counters in Taguig, I notice, in preparation for the possible mayhem… And no, I do not have a commercial interest in S&R in any way, shape or form. I just spend a great deal of our food budget there. :)

thanks for the tip!
haay, thank God. no april fool’s day joke today… buti na lang.. no drama of calling it quits..hehehe
oh no! it’s one of those sales with a queue till FOREVER! hope to have the patience this time. thanks for the heads up.
Just came from the one in Aseana, plenty people but not annoyingly so. I didn’t even bother to go to the one at the Fort.
Happy April Fool’s Day!Just came from the Alabang branch and the line was not as long as their last sale.Lots of items marked down.Good buys are pillows, towels and bedlinens.
I did get a text message from S&R about this sale. Will definitely check it out!
Got in the door at 8:45 pm and checked out at 9:20. No lines anymore! I learned my lesson from the last sale.
Have fun filling in your carts!
We were able to get great finds the last time we were there on a sale too. Better come armed with a lot of patience as the checkout line is going to be long!
This sale is not as chaotic as the one last September. They armed themselves better also with more shopping carts from Pure Gold and wider and unobstructed spaces before the check out counters. There were good bargains but not as impressive as last time.
went on wed after work but it was crowded.. will try 8am tom :D
happy april fools day to you, mrs MM and the teen….yehey! its sale in S&R and i got there at 8 am in time for the opening at the fort branch. wow, really lots of sale but plenty of excited and shopping people….at 9 am the whole store was jampacked with people and at around 10 am there was a shortage of carts. well,there were quite a number of good deals like the hard plastic tables for 4,6 & 8……i was able to buy these table for 6 at 4,599 for 2 tables as against the regular price of 3,500 i think. the bed sheets were also great deals at 55% off in all sizes……the martex pillowcases were at 150.00 for a set of 2…..not bad!!!!! they also have this libbey glasses at buy 1 take 1. well, i didnt think that the paper kitchen towels and sensodyne toothpaste were going to be on sale…….i bought them a few days before the sale only to fins out they were 300 and 400 pesos off……hu!hu!hu! anyway, though their sale last sept was more impressive, they always bring out good deals everytime……….
